P1TTsBURG, Aug. 1.-The last of the

en- route to their homes in Chicago. The
coke workers made no demonstration On
their leaving. President Hemmel, of the

arrested yesterday and held in 81 600 bail
on charge of conspiracy and interfering
with men at work. He was one
of the principal leaders in the strike, and
his arrest caused some excitement. This
evening the coke strikers commenced voting
to decide which of the rival labor organiza-
tions, the Knights of Labor or the Miners
Amalgamated Association, is TO be absorbed

REuORLER MATTHEWS.

The case Of Matthews, the recorder of
deeds for the District of Columbia, is q
singular one viewed in the light of the POI
litical history of this country for the past
twenty five years.
Mr.. Matthews is a colored man, lawyer
OF marked ability; for many years prac
ticing his profession In Albany, gentle
man of more than ordinary pre-possession
Of address. When the time came for Sc
lecting successor TO Frederick Douglas
as district recorder, the name Of Mr.. Mat
thews was presented to President Cleve-
land as suitable person for the position,
and after due consideration he WAS selec-
ted, not alone because OF his fitness for the
duties of the office, but rs we'll because of
his being a colored man, and his appoint
ment would be an evidence Of good faith
Of the President towards the negroes.
Dir. Matthews name was sent TO the SEN
ate for confirmation. That body has re.
publican monopoly who have always been
loud In their boasts of friendship and
good will toward the negroes. Imagine
then the surprise of the people when this
republican majority after hanging up Mr.
Mattne VS. name In committee, finally re-
jected 1t, and In SO doing demonstrated
that their professions were not carried out
by their acts.
The President, not willing TO yield TO
the net of the republican Senate, at once
reappointed Mr.. Matthews and again Sc mt
his name In again for confirmation, togeth.
or with very clear statement of the re.
suit Of An Investigation made rs to the
manner In which he WAS conducting his
Office.
The cause of Mr.. Matthews offending as
shown by all the facts, is that he Is negro
who Is democrat, and not negro who
'reads Ia the ways of republication. A
republican senate can tolerate Il republican
negro, but for them TO look with favor
upon democratic one Is out Of the ques.

TARIHH REFORM.

In 1854, under the pressure OF the great
burdens of the war, there was passed a
bill known as the Morrill, Tariff bill, which
imposed upon the United States the heav.
lest duties on imported articles ever known
in the history Of the nation. AZ per cent
duty was the average tax on over 1000 i'm
ported articles. No such duty could ever
have been laid In time of peace. The cot
ton manufactures of New England de.
clared that they needed no additional pro
lection Mr.. Rice OF Massachusetts, said
"the manufacturer has learned, among
other things, that the greatest evil next TO a
ruinous competition from foreign sources,
is IN excessive protection, which stimula
ted u like ruinous and irresponsible com
petition at home"
But the internal revenue taxes were
high, and II was decided 10 increase all
duties on Imports. The public were easily
persuaded to face the burdens, and ii was
considered patriotic TO pay extra taxes
without inquiring too carefully who got the
benefit Of them. Many of them went into
the pockets of manufacturers and con
tractors, The government share was like
the sailors prize-money, which the joly
mariner said was like throwing soup
through ladder; what lights On the
rounds the sailors get" But the loyalty of
the nation was 5, fhcient to suppress much
unfavorable criticism.
In 1872 II was evident that the revenue
was In excess OF the wants of the govern
ment, and that the public debt was shrink
Ing more rapidly than seemed just to a
generation that had borne the burden of the
war. After various discussions, horizon

thing which Mr. Morrison proposed last
winter, and which has called out 80 much
ridicule, was passed In both houses, sup

may not have been the wisest of measures,
but II gave some relief to the over. bur.
dened taxpayers.
But when manufacturer has once
known the gigantic profits which can be
secured by practical monopoly, he will
not easily give up his enormous gains. In
1875 the tariff was put back to the old war
basis; and since that date every effort TO

JOHN A. LOGAN.

With Senator John A. Logan dead, the
republican party of the state OF Illinois Is
deprived OF the services of its most dis
tinguished leader and the party of the west
of Its most conspicuous representative. 1t
would hardly be truth to say that the party
throughout the nation Is robbed Of the most
prominent man in IL, for granting to the
dead senator all the virtues he possessed
and all the abilities that were his he fell
far short Of being in any sense the creates,
among those Of his political faith.
The distinctive party papers, now that
he Is no more, have with one accord placed
him upon the very heights of greatness
and with one accord have accredited him
with having been statesman III to rank
with Douglass and with Trumbull, In
their desire 20 show fealty to him. now that
he Is dead, they have passed the bounds Of
moderation, and by their immoderation
raised the question as to whether or no he
was Statesman.
No one will deny that he was good sol
dier-a brave and gallant officer perhaps
the best officer In the volunteer service
30, too, with equal willingness will all
grant that he was an honest public man
one who applied TO public financial trans
actions the same rigid rules Of honesty that
he applied to his own private business af.
fairs None will galnsay that he was u
true husband-a devoted father-an exem.
plary citizen-one who contributed his
fair share to the public good, and one who
really loved his country.
When thus much has been said all has
been said Of John A. Logan that the
truth and the facts warrant. La no sense
OF the word was he a statesman. The
only element approaching craftsmanship
that entered into his make up was per.
sistency. He was perslstent-persis,en,
to such degree that his zeal In many
instances worked injury TO his cause
and TO his party. In no public address
either In or out Of Legislative halls, did he
even give uttersnce to any statement thai
showed him TO be possessed of statesman
like Ideas. The records In congress do no
show that at any time he even fathered ant
carried through any measure that resulted
In benefit to the public. He made man,
